St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-12-25


we do need-that is. private, separate
school for Young girls of ages between
/ twelve and sixteen.
re. Munger-We want better facll-
! tiles in the shape Of street, cable or
motor lines to reach the distant parts OF
the city, and especially between st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Here we have
! city comprising a population OF over
/ 15u, 200, yet great many well settied
! portions of it are over mile from any
! facilities of that nature.
| James w. Warren--We need one or
! two more good, strictly jObbing, Whole
/ sale clothing houses.
/ Charles StrauS-We need the same
prOpOrtiOnate freight rates and same
! railroad facilities in this city as they
/ have in Chicago. When there is no dis
! elimination in rates as between TINS
| city and Chicago, we can get away with
/ Chicago. Another thing we do want IS
! less speculation in real estate. | would
also be in favor Of the jobbing
men generally of this city dealing more
| literally with our country customers IN
| the matter of time III credit transac-
| tons. When they suffer with poor
! crops they should be dealt with liber-
allv. and not forced to the wall. Ii we
/ give them a chance, this city as job
| bling center will become more popular
| than any other, and we shall lose moth
! ing by it in the long run.
George L. Farwell-A good, first class
| theater is needed about as much as any
/ thing. One thing we need more than
! ANYTHING else is better railroad rates ont
of the city. We have good enough rates
in the city, but we want better rates out
of it. This will put US upon an equal
| basis with cities east of US.
| Seth K. HOWeS-We need better tran
| sit communications and facilities to all
! parts of the city. 1t takes up about
| three-QuarterS of an hour OF a mans
| time to get down town to business, and
| life is too short for that. Horse cars,
/ they can't go fast enough.
Frank KeOgh-We need a wholesale
clothing house very badly. think there
| is a first-clasS opening here for house
| of that kind.
Col. Warren Granger-A big whole
sale clothing house and cheap fuel.
ID. w. MOOn-MOre manufactures Of
| all kinds.
J.H. Allen-Cheap houses for rent
ing, cheap tenementS-thati is, good ten
ements and fats at reasonable rent.
George X. Finch-We want that ap-
preparation for the enlargement of the
! Sault Ste. Marie canal. We want an
other railroad line to Duluth.
f. A. YOung-We want a firSt-class
| Independent line of steamers from Du-
| luth to Buffalo.
Ex-Marshal Fl. r. Denny-A good
| Jail close to the court, with under
ground passage connecting it with the
court house. Intelligent citizens will
cOncede that this is in the interest OF
Justice and public good. 1t will afford
protection to the officers of the law and
prevent lawless interference with the
course of Justice.
Adam Fetsch-The city wants more
manufactures.
Ex-State Treasurer Charles Kittel-
| SOn-MOney.
Senator Albert Scheffer-I think we
need public library, some more hospl-
tails, an art gallery, more parks, more
street grading. We need some of our
miIlionaireS to unite their purse strings
and immortaliZe themselves by doing
something of public benefit.
Louis II. NaXfield-We want the men
who have grown wealthy through the
activity and enterprise of their neigh
bOrs to show their appreciation OF this
by embellishing the city with handsome
| business buildings, or in some other
way that would be satisfactory to the
public at large.
W. r. Merriam-MOre attractive road
! ways, drives and parks. This city is
getting so large now that we ought to
make it more attractive to live i'll.
w. A. Van Slyke-What we need
more than anything else is to have the
people of this city put their heads to-
gether and establish three or four big
Touring mills, 50 as to attract the grain
trade to st. Paul by providing a market
for it.
A. Manvel-We want more equality
in the laws and in their execution i'll re-
gard to the railroads.
E. B. Wakeman-We want good
| weather and freedom from billiards,
| heavy SHOWS and blOckaded railroads.
r. A. WhitmOre-MOre honesty and
| fair dealing; more money, more of ev-
erything that is good and less of every
thing that is evil.
f. B. Clarke-Well, what we want
| more than anything else Just now, l
| guess, is lot of money to let some of
| the boys out on their real estate deals.
| We want a good, large opera house,
| spacious enough for anything in the
country. We also want one or two large
halls. 1t should be remembered that
! st. Paul now is a large city and such
structures as these constitute part of
| the equipment of all large cities.
Il =
number of large halls in different parts
of the city, and a larger theater oropera
| house would not be out of place.
w. II. DiXOn-MOre money, more
| houses, more people, more business,
more railroads above all other things,
especially between St. Paul and Chi
| cago. We want another interstate COM
merce law, more honesty, and let me
see. two OF three prize fights might not
| be out of place, for we haven't had one
| for long time now.
A. II. Mohler-I should think large
| public hall would be very desirable.
! There are many occasions when We need
! such a structure.
S. l.. Moore-A large and commodious
| hall, suitable for large bodies of men,
such as conventions and the like, con-
veniently located, would be very accept
able, indeed. 1t would also be a good
| thing if we could have large opera
house capable of seating 5000 or 1900
| people, and so complete as to accOmmO-
| date the largest operate organizations.
J. A. Hanley-We have no halls in the
city, and badly need at least two good
ones well located. One of them should
! be hall constructed for concerts on
| large scale. This is what st. Paul lacks
| badly. We also want a good public Ii
| brary.
4. L. Dodge-When Sackett & Wig
| gins complete their theater we will be
! fairly well supplied with theaters for a
while. A large public hall, we'll located,
and q public library. are very badly
| needed indeed. These two cannot be
| erected too soon.
Judge Chander-It would be very
desirable thing if We could have large,
elegant public library building. such as
other large cities have. Our present
| library is not suitable for the times, nor
does it supply the absolute and pressing
needs of the city. We are not doing
what we ought to in regard to public
| buildings. But these structures cost
good deal of money, and it is difficult to
see just where it is to come from at
